2014, (27,5 x 31,5 cm), 314 pp. English text, 504 ills. hardcover with dustjacket, This wonderfully designed book is a tribute to the most outstanding Balinese artists of the 20th century, I Gusto Nyoman Lempad (1862?-1978). It is also a survey of his legacy and a reflexion on Balinese life through his eyes. He left this terrestial world when he was 116 year old after chosing the auspicious day to do so and melt with the spiritual, cosmic world. He was an undagi, a ceremonial architect, sculptor and painter, who left a heritage of art works in Balinese temples and palaces as well as in museum and private collections around the world. This is the first book ever made on this genious artist which will place him where he deserves, as a world timeless master. 252 Art works illustrated, 198 drawings and 54 sculptures. [Indonesian]
